To further this initiative, the city is cataloging potential candidates for elevation based on our current repetitive loss list. Staff has developed a scoring system based on cost benefit for elevation that would compare the projects to relocation and retrofits.
Develop an ongoing program designed to utilize Federal grant resources to assist private property owners in elevating existing structures located within flood hazard zones. (CRS 510/530) Develop an ongoing program designed to utilize Federal grant resources to assist private property owners in renovating and retrofitting existing structures in flood hazard zones to reduce vulnerability to flooding damage.

We now have emergency backup power generators at all our critical facilities except for our South Raleigh Operations Facility. However, we can relocate supplies, material and teams to any of our other facilities per our emergency operational planning. Also, per our Hurricane Florence AAR we are conducting emergency fuel capacity studies for our generators at our largest wastewater treatment plant and both our water treatment plants. A fuel truck is not in the works but we have emergency fuel contracts with Red Star and also exploring dual use of natural gas to power some of our energy resiliency to give us an added layer.
Program to install emergency electrical generators at all public utility facilities. Current focus on redundant generators at critical facilities, second fuel truck and completion of 100% generator coverage in Garner area.

The City's Emergency Operation Plan outlines our standard operating guidelines and has been adopted as an official document used prior to and during weather emergencies. The IT Department led a citywide effort to develop a Situational Analysis Smart Dashboard for the Emergency Operations Center and refined it in real time as new types of data, such as current wind speed, were identified as critical to the safety of the public and city workers during an emergency. The Smart Dashboard was first deployed for Hurricane Florence. The dashboard is cross-departmental, with real-time progress tracking, covering a range of emergency management issues from debris in streets and closures, malfunctioning traffic signals, flood monitoring and 911 call data.
